Boosting capacity and strength for intermediaries: upgrading standards of securities professionals
Enhancing the operational expertise of securities professionals
In parallel with creating quality investors, SET, via TSI, has an important role and mission to develop the expertise of
professionals in the securities market by setting and supervising examinations certifying to their standards of proficiency.
TSI focuses on creating and maintaining proficiency standards for professionals to prepare for an expansion of the Thai

industry. TSI also developed curricula and training in various
topics to expand the expertise in product analysis and other
necessary skills for securities professionals.
